This week, the Senate is expected to take up the former President Donald Trump impeachment trial.
The impeachment already passed in the House of Representatives.
Now, questions remain: Will Democrats be able to convince enough Republicans to break with the former president and convince them to convict Trump of inciting the deadly Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot?
Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah says he studied law review articles that show holding an impeachment trial for a former president is constitutional — a stance that puts Romney at odds with some of his colleagues.
Romney also seems to be in favor convicting Trump, although he said he believes the former president deserves a chance to defend himself in court.
"I believe that what is being alleged and what we saw — which is incitement to insurrection — is an impeachable offense. If not, what is?" Romney said Sunday on CNN's State of the Union.
